Paisley dress

I have a few events coming up where I will need a cute dress, some wedding related and some not, so I thought I would start looking while I was at the mall today because I can never seem to find a dress when I really need one. Then I remembered this adorable Lily dress that is now on sale at Bloomingdales. I am so tempted to buy it for my shower!

Sweet ideas

Have you seen a cuter cake topper? Maybe a little too arts-and-crafts for our wedding theme, but I saw it and immediately loved it!
Speaking of cakes, I originally thought I had found the one, but after thinking some more and having more details gathered, I am starting to reconsider. Here are some nice ones that I may share with our baker to see what she thinks.

Details, details

This is backtracking a bit (I have some catching up to do on posts since so much is in the works) but I wanted to recap one of my favorite details so far. I received a tiny box that was shipped to our house and arrived right on my birthday. R set it out with the rest of the presents so I opened it up and I was so excited! It was this antique ribbon I had bought to wrap the bouquets:

Now, it is gorgeous on its own, but what makes it even better is that the paisley design matches the papers we are going to use for our invitations...

this is the Serpentine Regalia patterned paper and Wicked paper from Envelopments
